Materials are able to move across a cell membrane through one of two methods: active transport or passive transport. What is the

difference between active transport and passive transport?
Biology
1 answer:
zloy xaker [14]3 years ago
5 0
Essentially the answer is in the names. Active transport requires energy to facilitate to movement of the materials while passive transport is something like osmosis which is when the material moves based on concentration in an effort to create equality between the two sides. Basically passive is when the materials move under the own power.

Knowing that some individuals from Island 1 colonized Island 2, biologists sample the Mainland and two Island populations fifty
raketka [301]

Answer:

The evolutionary mechanism that could be influencing the allele frequencies between both islands and the mainland population might be Founder Effect.

Explanation:

Genetic drift is the random change that occurs in the allelic frequency of a population through generations. The magnitude of this change is inversely related to the size of the original population. These changes produced by genetic drift accumulate in time and eventually, some alleles get lost, while some others might set. Genetic drift affects a population and reduces its size dramatically due to a disaster -bottleneck effect- or because of a population split -founder effect-. In <u>founder effect</u>, a new population originates when a few individuals who are coming from a bigger population carrying its genes, settle down in a new area and reproduce. This small population might or might not be genetically representative of the original one. Some rare alleles might be exceeded or might be completely lost. Consequently, when the small population increases in size, it will have a genetically different composition from the original one. In these situations, <u>genetic variability is reduced</u> and there exists the possibility of developing a peculiar allelic composition. If the number of individuals that originated the new population is low, the founder effect will be very extreme, because the effects of the genetic drift are inversely proportional to the original number of individuals.  

<em>In the exposed situation, the evolutionary mechanism that could be influencing the allele frequencies between both islands and the mainland population might be Founder Effect. The fact that both islands are similar in their frequencies might be due to little genetic variation on island 1, or because dispersion to island 2 is a recent event on time. </em>

Compare and contrast the two types of bonds
stepan [7]

Answer:

An ionic bond is formed between a metal and a non-metal. Covalent bonding is a form of chemical bonding between two non metallic atoms which is characterized by the sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms and other covalent bonds.

Explanation:

There are two types of atomic bonds - ionic bonds and covalent bonds. They differ in their structure and properties. Covalent bonds consist of pairs of electrons shared by two atoms, and bind the atoms in a fixed orientation. Relatively high energies are required to break them (50 - 200 kcal/mol). Whether two atoms can form a covalent bond depends upon their electronegativity i.e. the power of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons to itself. If two atoms differ considerably in their electronegativity - as sodium and chloride do - then one of the atoms will lose its electron to the other atom. This results in a positively charged ion (cation) and negatively charged ion (anion). The bond between these two ions is called an ionic bond.

Recall the name for the total amount of living matter in each trophic level of an ecological pyramid.
julsineya [31]
The correct answer would be Biomass. Biomass is the term for the total amount of living matter in each trophic level of an ecological pyramid. In other words, biomass is considered as the total mass of an organism in a given area.
